Cambios

Best of luck Posi.

Next MMO though, please: 1 or 2 currencies tops.

Not 47 (influence, infamy, prestige, 3 or 4 different kinds of tokens, tickets, shards, threads, salvage, etc, etc.).

And don't stress so much over powergaming and farming. It happens no matter what.

I am incredibly sad. I played CoH from the very 1st day - I had a burn tank. I didn't even know how OP they were until I learned burn and was like WOAH.

I resubbed to CoX at least 3 or 4 times.

CoX and Anarchy Online are the only two MMOs I came back to after canceling. Only twice for AO.

I will miss this so much. I will miss just knowing my favorite hero is there, waiting to be played.

I seriously hope a staff member is hoarding all the necessary code to "leak" it so people can at least keep the spirit alive somewhere - if even only on their own LAN.

The article you are quoting was written May 22, 2009. The Feb 2011 date is because the writer fixed a typo back in February and did an edit/republish.

I know this because I am the Managing Editor of the Gaming section on Bright Hub.

It was pretty cool to see one of our articles quoted here though.

As long as I'm mentioning that, I should note that Bright Hub is one of the top 200 most popular sites in the US, and the gaming section alone does nearly 4 million views per month.

If anyone reading this has freelance writing skills or experience, drop me a PM. We are always looking to hire more writers. They pay is good too.

EDIT: In order to prevent any future confusion from that article, I added a "NOTE" with a date stamp for the numbers in that section.

Thanks for the information Steele.

Fixed a typo.

Anyone have some help here?

Thanks,

I am new to AE and I've browsed the forum a bit and done some preliminary experimentation.

To start off, I want to make a really basic map with just some large, tightly clustered mobs. I guess its your basic farm map, but the goal is to eventually do more.

The map I'd really like to use is the really simple rectangular "city" map that is common in a lot of Unai Kemen's arc missions. You basically go up one side killing mobs, turn, then go back down the other side. It doesn't have a lot of obstructions so its really simple.

I couldn't find this map in the editor. Does anyone know what map this is, or how I unlock it if need be?

ALSO:

Is there a listing/database somewhere of the different mob groups you can use? I really hate CC (crowd control), so I want to try and stick to mob groups with as little of that as possible. The Infernal Demons (sometimes they are Praetorians in Harvey Maylor's arc) are a good example of this. Are there others like this?

Finally: In my own custom missions that aren't dev choice or anything like that, what is the reward penalty? Is it full xp but just less INF? What about recipe drops?

Thanks,

The excessive amount of CC/status effects in CoX is still one of the big things that plagues it. It is this flaw that causes such a huge percentage of people to play scrappers and brutes when they'd love to play more blasters and other ATs.

It is also why the -KB IOs are so incredibly popular. If there were -stun, -hold, etc. IOs you'd see people flock to them as well. I'd happily sacrifice slots to be able to have even so-so mez protection.

I completely miss out on a huge percentage of the game (about 2/3rds of the ATs) because having to suffer status effects/CC is so miserable. I'd love to play more blasters, a dominator, mastermind, defenders, another corruptor, and some controllers, but I just can't make myself do it. Playing those ATs means any time I am soloing it is absolutely miserable, and even in groups it can be a pain.

That's one of my personal rants I've had about the game since the beginning. Way too much CC.

Is there not some way to simple drop/abandon old story arcs?

Does this one stack with the steadfast protection +3% def all?

So in other words, using both, you get +6% defense to all?

If so, wow. That's sweet.

Forbin: LOL. You are a piece of work man. You didn't read a thing I wrote, and to the extent you skimmed, you grossly misunderstood. But hey, don't let the facts slow ya down, bro!

I'm not even advocating server merging per se. But you'd have to slow down and read what you are replying to in order to know that.
